Abstract
Preliminary results of a comparison between several wave measurement systems used during the Atlantic Remote Sensing Land Ocean Experiment (ARSLOE) are presented. Measurements in the offshore region 12-40 km offshore, taken during a storm that occurred October 23-26, 1980, are compared. Disagreement between significant waveheights resulting from the different measurement systems in some cases are larger than can be explained by random variability.
